Speed Boat Project
Hi there,
I am a university student with no previous boat building experience and have been given an assignment to design and build a electric speed boat that will race against my class mates for grades. The restrictions are that we must use the materials supplied and on a limited 'budget'. We build them out of Toughened Polystyrene, which is basicly plastic moulding with a max size of 40cm * 70cm. I am calling on you knowledge and experience for the fastest electric boat for a square coarse (needs pretty good handling also). Is two motors better than one? or will it weigh it down? is it better to have a small prop and high rpm or large prop and low rpm. We will use normal batteries but have a max. voltage of 7.5v. Thanks.
